(J. Shelton)
Originally performed by Elkie Brooks, but actually inspired to the version sung by Nina Simone

I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
and be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because I brings me back you...

Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
Lilac wine, I

I've got my head but my head is unraveling
Can't keep control, can't keep track of where it's traveling
I've got my heart but my heart's no good
And you're the only one that's understood
I come along but I don't know where you're taking me
I shouldn't go but you're wretching, dragging, shaking me
Turn off the sun pull the stars from the sky
The more i give to you the more i die

and i want you
and i want you
and i want you
and i want you

you are the perfect drug…the perfect drug…the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug…the perfect drug…the perfect drug

You make me hard when i'm all soft inside
I see the truth when i'm all stupid eyed
The arrow goes straight through my heart
(Without you everything just falls apart)

My blood wants to say hello to you
My fears want to get inside of you
My soul is so afraid to realize
(How very little there is left of me)

and i want you
and i want you
and i want you
and i want you

you are the perfect drug…the perfect drug…the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug…the perfect drug…the perfect drug

take me with you
take me with you
take me with you
take me with you
without you…without you everything falls apart
without you…it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
without you…without you everything falls apart
without you…it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
without you…without you everything falls apart
without you…it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
